Bukayo Saka Expected to Miss Up to Four Weeks With Hamstring Injury
Club assessments point to a short layoff rather than a prolonged setback.
Overview
- Saka suffered the injury during Arsenal’s 5-0 win over Leeds United, limping off in the second half at the Emirates.
- He is set to miss Arsenal’s upcoming visit to Liverpool as well as England’s World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia.
- Captain Martin Ødegaard sustained a shoulder problem in the same match and left with his arm in a sling.
- Arsenal remain hopeful Ødegaard can feature at Anfield, with club sources indicating neither issue appears long term.
- Saka missed three months last season with a similar hamstring problem, though Arsenal believe their current squad can absorb short-term absences.
